MattS Posted April 21, 2021 Share #27 Posted April 21, 2021 Are we taking bets that the high bidder is American? For reference, this helmet is in the National WW2 Museum's collection: https://www.nationalww2museum.org/war/articles/equipment-ace-ed-sabos-helmet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Jerry From what I seen, the very bad fakes are not bought by collectors but regular joes who watched too many antique shows and are looking for a quick flip. Remember all those people on Pawn Stars bringing in rare historical items they found in auctions and ask for big $$? they then get very disappointed that their item is a bad fake.
